The lends itself to colour blocking. The retro-running silhouette’s heel panel and edging provides the perfect segmented layout for different treatments. This women’s colourway is a textbook execution of the style; featuring a red mesh toe with overlays that are matched with a light grey heel separated with a sleek white divider. Finished with a natural gum outsole, the 966 colourway is a contemporary classic.

The New Balance WR 996 is available from select stockists including Afew.
